News: More Brain Training For Europe

Get prepared to train your brain with brand new exercises, as Nintendo announce More Brain Training from Dr Kawashima will hit Europe in June...

With sales of the original Brain Training number over 10 million worldwide, a sequel to the popular mental exercise game was inevitable. Titled in Europe More Brain Training from Dr Kawashima: How Old Is Your Brain?, the second game will launch on the 29th June and feature all new exercises and DS Brain Age Checks for even the most trained of brains.

The title keeps the same format as its predecessor, with the DS held like a book. Brain-trainees must use the touch screen and microphone features of the DS to challenge their brain with easy to execute mathematical, cognitive and language-based tasks. As ever, the DS Brain Age Check measures the speed and accuracy with which you perform, and calculates your DS Brain Age which you can track on the inbuilt calender.

However, DS Brain Age Checks take on a new form in this title as players will be tested on three randomly selected exercises including old school classic Rock, Paper, Scissors which asks you to name the position to either win or lose against the object shown, Memorising 5x5 which sees you remembering the position of numbers on screen and Speedy Symbols which challenges your memory of symbols associated with specific numbers.

New training exercises include Correct Change, which challenges you on to an everyday day task - working out the right amount of money to hand back after a transaction as quickly as possible. Other tests include Missing Symbols is a twist on the classic '20 calculations' test, and Masterpiece Recital which invites you to follow a music sheet shown on one screen and touch the corresponding piano keys on the touch screen. As your daily training continues, additional new exercises are unlocked, opening up a variety of new activities with varying levels of difficulty.

Using a single game card, two to sixteen players can participate in four different exercises together. Challenge each other to Word Scramble, Memorise 5x5 or Correct Change to see who reigns in the worlds of maths, memory and perception. Three to sixteen players can also compete in a picture quiz to test each others artistic skills, where players score the other drawings to find a winner.

And if you get bored of that, there's always Sudoku, which returns to this title once more. Launching for �19.99, its release date again is June 29th.
